(e) Isolated Fracture of theGreater or Lesser Tuberosity.—Fracture, or splitting off, of the greatertuberosity is sometimes met with in con-nection with dislocation of the may also be produced by rotation inviolent efforts at reduction. Isolatedfracture of the lesser tuberosity is muchmore rare. The symptoms are: painon pressure, functional disturbance. and separation at the seat of treatment consists in relaxing themuscles that have their origin at thelesser tuberosity by appropriate move-ments, in prolonged rest, etc.
